In today's competitive philanthropic landscape, having access to data isn't enough; you need a strategy to turn that information into a tangible Return on Information. This webinar explores how prospect development teams can leverage high-fidelity data to accelerate every stage of the donor journey, from initial discovery to the final ask. We will dive into how precision intelligence allows your team to validate existing research and dive deep into specific data points to uncover hidden donor gems. Participants will learn how to drive greater fundraising progress by identifying new prospects at all levels and optimizing portfolios to ensure gift officers are spending their time where it matters most.

Join speaker Daniel Basco, PhD, Kindsight's Senior Director for iWave and Data Intelligence, where he drives product innovation and oversees data science efforts, building new predictive models across Kindsight's product suite.

Traditional prospect scoring often focuses on a snapshot in time—capacity, affinity, or a single major gift indicator. But what if you could understand the full, evolving value of a prospect across their entire relationship with your organization?

Speaker, Andrew Gutierrez, Vice President of Apra Illinois, will explore Prospect Lifetime Value (PLV) as a more dynamic and holistic approach to evaluating and segmenting prospects. You’ll learn how PLV — which represents the total value a prospect may bring over their entire lifecycle — can incorporate a wide range of factors, including demonstrated patterns of past giving (such as recency, frequency, gift size, and giving vehicles), prospect age and life stage, external philanthropic activity, giving as a percentage of capacity, and more. We’ll discuss how bringing these elements together can create a clearer picture of prospects’ future value, and can support more strategic decisions around portfolio design and prioritization.

The nonprofit funding landscape is shifting faster than ever. Federal dollars are disappearing. Foundations are consolidating. And the organizations you work with are watching their revenue predictability collapse.

Grant professionals are positioned to help, but only if you understand where money is actually moving beyond traditional grants. Donor-advised funds offer a case study in institutional change: how funding sources shift, who controls those shifts, and what happens when your organization doesn't see the full picture. 

In this session, we'll use DAFs as a diagnostic lens to map hard-to-reach funding sources like earned income, impact lending, giving circles, and corporate partnerships, and explore what it takes to access them. You'll walk away with questions that help nonprofits build stability beyond grant cycles alone.
